A new file has been added (new_pack.c). It is not yet used but inside I try to create
a more cleaner ppack/unpack function. There is still work in progress on this file.
New !!! In debug mode there is a gdb friendly function where you can set a breakpoint
(ompi_ddt_safeguard_pointer_debug_breakpoint) in order to see what's the status of
the convertor and the internal veraible when the ddt engine try to do a pack/unpack
outside the user buffer.
A new field in the convertor structure. This field get initialized in the convertor_init_for_*
functions and point to the datatype description that have to be used by the pack/unpack
functions. Until now each one of them have a test in the begining to detect which data
representation to be used (normal or optimized). Now this field point directly to the correct
one.
Change names for local variable to be easier to understand what they are supposed to
represent.
Add a new function ompi_convertor_set_start_position which can be used to set the
current position in the convertor depending on the datatype attached to the convertor.
An improved version of convertor_init_generic which work wiith convertors comming from a cache.
Only the necessary field get modified.
A lot more cleanups ...
